First time heart flutters

Chapter-28 New beginnings

Soon murmurs filled the arena, and Naina realised the vibe of someone behind her. She could read hesitancy in Preeti's eyes. 

"What's going on here?" The class teacher's voice boomed. Naina turned around only to find Vihaan and the staff standing next.

"Naina Agarwal," The staff called, "What are you doing here?"

"Mam, Actually..."

"She came to meet me," Subhi intervened, "I have her logarithm book,"

Subhi fished out the book and handed it over to Naina. The staff looked at the charade with suspicion. 

"Thank...you...Subhi,"

"Welcome," Subhi smiled back.

Preeti couldn't understand.

Is Naina avoiding me? She could have said that she was here to meet me.

💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

"So, he is Rohan??" Sameer asked Munna while looking at the guy standing in the queue at the Canteen, "The one who forged Preeti's handwriting?"

"Yeah, in fact, we have solid proof for it," Munna said as he extended a file to Sameer.

Sameer flipped through the pages and chuckled.

"Wait, did Naina write a thesis about Rohan and his foul plays...why are you extending her assignment to me man??"

"Sameer, it was written by Rohan, not Naina,"

"Wait what?"

"Yes," Munna explained the entire plan, "We had it shelved, only to proceed after things become normal,"

"So, now?" Sameer asked while Munna said nothing.

Preeti stared at the blackboard filled with formulae.
"I can't understand anything," She scratched her head, annoyed.
Subhi chuckled lightly.
"Don't worry, let me help you out,"
Subhi started explaining when the staff gave an open question to answer.
"Anyone?"

Vihaan stood up and walked towards the blackboard. He began to jot down the given data, and he was done in twenty seconds.

"Can you explain it to your classmates?" The staff asked with a warm smile.

"Well...this formula..." He began explaining and the whole class got hooked up to his explanation. Few even stood up asking doubts and got clarified. 

"Very Good Vihaan," Staff complimented, "Now, I hope everyone is clear,"

The fifty heads nodded vigorously.

"Ok Thank you, complete your homework sums before the next class," She picked up her books,

"We gonna deal with a new topic from next class onwards,"

The entire class stood up, greeting, as the staff exited.

Vihaan piled up his books into the bag and pulled out his wallet. Without looking at anyone, he just walked outside the classroom.

"I am feeling tired of things," Naina whispered to her inner self, "I feel like leaving everything and becoming a sannyasin," 

On her table were the test papers of her unit test, and she had scored top scores in almost every subject. Definitely, she will pass with excellent grades and get into the most buzzed college in town. Grace couldn't contemplate why the girl, who has her life sorted had to become a sanyasin. 

"What happened Naina?"

"I don't know Grace, I just wanna leave all these behind and be in peace,"

"Wait, is it about your nightmares?" Grace asked worriedly.

Naina sighed.

"Yes, it's about them," She slumped on the front desk, "I am getting different sort of nightmares, right from killing someone to being killed, this is lasting for three months, right from the end of April, till yesterday even, the issue is that because of this I ain't able to sleep either,"

"Why don't you get the help of a psychiatrist?"

"I hope it's not that easy, my parents will be worried,"

"But Naina, this is lasting for a long time right," Grace patted her shoulder, "It's better to get help,"

"Hmm,"

"Are the dreams recurring?"

"At first they were, later they didn't,"

"Are they lucid?"

"Nope,"

"Can you remember them?"

"Of course, If not fully at least bits and pieces of it, the horrendous sights are stored in my mind,"

"Do you dream journal?"

"Yeah, I do that,"

"Hmm," Grace hummed, "Let's do one thing, today before going to sleep, talk with someone who could distract your thoughts about the nightmares and sleep, lets's see if you get those dreams tonight," she suggested," At time dreams are due to unwarranted stress we hold upon us before we go to sleep,"

"Hmm sure, let me do that," Naina nodded.

It's a good idea though
